Kane Williamson:

The 5th player in our list of top 5 overseas players registered for the auction is New Zealand captain Kane Williamson.

He has been a part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad team for the past few seasons and has led the team but this year Sunrisers Hyderabad released him.

Kane Williamson has been performing brilliantly in Test cricket for the past several years but his strike rate in T20 cricket is very low that is why Sunrisers Hyderabad released him from their team and another reason could be his high price.

However, this year he kept his base price at Rs 2 crore for the mini-auction. He is a great leader and has been leading the New Zealand cricket team for many years So teams like Chennai Super Kings and also Sunrise Hyderabad can again target him from the auction because both teams need a captain for the future.
